  A personal blog that doesn’t even use 3rd party scripts for some obscure edge case like image loading? No 3rd party frames either, doesn’t even use JS at all? Oh please, you can only be that good.

    Exactly the type of super human that would engage in N900 necromancy.

  Person rebuilds an N900 to use a battery eliminator and replace the micro usb port with USB-C, and then sets it up as a media player. Ok but why bother?

  It’s still useless as a phone, at least in the US, because the 3G network is dead. Sigh. Its UI was also hopelessly slow, as was the later N9’s.

    Because they want? Not everything needs to have a useful purpose for humanity, people still can have some fun (and develop some skills in the process).

    Would it be less bothering to you if the phone was chucked in a landfill? Anything that reduces e-waste seems like a positive proposition to me at least.

    Why not? It’s a great project. You take an old device and use it for something that still makes sense. In this case he is using it as a media player and why buy a new device when you have one around that can do the job?
